Due to a confusion I thought that eth_type_trans() was called by the network stack whereas it can actually be called by network drivers to figure out the skb protocol and next packet_type handlers. In light of the above, it is not safe to store the frame type from the DSA tagger's .filter callback (first entry point on RX path), since GRO is yet to be invoked on the received traffic. Hence it is very likely that the skb->cb will actually get overwritten between eth_type_trans() and the actual DSA packet_type handler. Of course, what this patch fixes is the actual overwriting of the SJA1105_SKB_CB(skb)->type field from the GRO layer, which made all frames be seen as SJA1105_FRAME_TYPE_NORMAL (0).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
